Our paths met a few times when you needed some fixes to DBD::Sybase... and it was always enjoyable and interesting, and very much to the point!

Myself I've also drifted away from programing - as a full time production DBA in a pretty large bank there isn't much opportunity at work, and not much time away from work. And after more than 20 years I find it harder to sit down and start a new project...
